@Q57387675: Hi Lukas,
I found a mistake in Wikimedia, I edited to correct it, though I don't know if I did it well since I am beginning to edit, you reverted my correction. I don't know either if this is the correct form of discussing this matter, so please excuse my ignorance
The mistake was in Wikimedia, it had a caption of a photo depicting a fish known as Sarpa salpa and stated it wrongly to be a Boops, the mistake is understandable since it was thought before that Salpa pertained to the Boops genus, these two URLs show that this classification has changed of late, incorrect taxonomy marked by experts: http://www.marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=305109
While this classification is the correct one: http://www.marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=127064
So a Sarpa salpa is not nowadays related to a Boops boops
In https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Saupe5.jpg you can see a Sarpa salpa (as correctly stated in the name of the file) but it is named in the summary as a Boops boops, which is not correct
In https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q2709469 you can see that the image of the Sarpa salpa appears again though it states that the picture depicts a Boops boops, not correct again.
I don't know how to correct the situation. Maybe you can help me. A Sarpa salpa has yellow eyes and stripes longitudinal to its body as this one: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Sarpa_salpa;_Goldline_(cropped).jpg
A Boops boops have big eyes and no yellow at all, like this one: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Boops_boops_Karpathos_01.JPG
Excuse the lengthy message, thanks for your attention.
